Your neighbor pokes his head out of the window to hear your taunts and to see the final energetic hops of your jig.

"Dammit, Jimmy! How many times am I going to have to tell you this? When you need to escape," he says, his fist crashing down on the window sill, "steel your own damn car!" He slams the window shut and you can hear his feet pounding down his stairs. Two seconds later and he has emerged from the front door, dressed in a robe and fuzzy slippers. "It might help if you shut yourself in there, too, so I can't get to you to kick your little ass!"

Well, it has been the third time this has happened, you think. maybe even the fourth. or the fifth. Still, you don't want to have to pay the mechanic to remove all this steel again. Plus, your neighbor looks pretty peeved. Should you run, or be a good samaritan and stay?

POSTING GUIDELINES

First off, if you don't understand how this all works, please check out our help page.
It should answer most of your basic questions.

All authors are responsible for their own content. We don't write this stuff. You do. So feel free to use a little adult humour, but please don't go overboard, or we'll have to flag the story as mature content.
Second, if you're adding a chapter to an existing story, try and stick to the theme, back-story and characters of the original story as much as possible. This makes it easier to keep the storyline alive and kicking.
When you're writing, try not to write more than one or two segments of the same story at a time. It keeps the story fresher and funnier if you let others play along. :)
Posts need to be at least 140 characters long. That's about three average sentences, not too painful, but it prevents spamminess.
Finally, try not to kill off the main character in a story... at least, permanently. It can be pretty detrimental to the storyline — it's also useless, as someone is bound to revive the character.
If you find a problem somewhere, or see a bad posting, click the red report button on a story or user profile and report it to us!
Note: Please be careful if you spent a long period of time writing the same branch. It's entirely possible that someone else is completing the same branch as you, and in that case, since we don't lock posts while you edit, whoever posts first will "win" and you'll have to move your post elsewhere.
